Of the three shaping algorithms available on the Shaper Configuration page, only one can be enabled at a time.
  • Page 63 User Manual Example 1: HTB Queue Discipline Enabled In the example below, HTB Queue Discipline is enabled. The PPPoE1 connection has a total of 300 Kbps of bandwidth, of which 100 Kbps is given to CoS1 and another 100 Kbps is given to CoS2.
  • Page 64 User Manual Example 2: Low Latency Queue Discipline Enabled In this second example, Low Latency Queue Discipline is enabled. CoS1 is not rate controlled (hence the field is disabled). CoS2 takes 100 Kbps when there is no CoS1 packet. CoS6 has 300 Kbps when there is no CoS1 or CoS2 packets. This is similar to the HTB queue discipline as they are both rate-based algorithm, except that CoS1 is handled differently.
  • Page 65 User Manual Example 3: PRIOWRR Enabled In this third example, PRIOWRR is enabled. Since PRIOWRR operates only on the number of packets being transmitted, the max rate field has been disabled. Only percentage can be assigned to the CoS2 - CoS6. CoS1 is not rate controlled (hence the field is not displayed).
